I completed my interview with Mr Paul North(Admission director) over Skype. Initially, there was some issue with Skype connection and it took another 10 mins before we could start talking. The interview process was very amazing and i enjoyed a lot talking to Paul. He made me comfortable during all time and provided some detailed answers to my questions. Interview questions were related to my career choice and my work experience till date.

Paul is a nice guy. I think for the most part, everyone there is down to earth.

Good luck to you all.

I'll be submitting this week. I did poorly on my GMAT so not feeling too confident.

Regards.

I am planning to apply in R3 for specialization in Supply chain!!

What are the chances of making it!!?? I have got a pretty decent GMAT score (660) and decent profile (6 years in SCM implementation). Is it even a good idea to apply in R3!?

galaxyblue · Answer

During an on-campus function, I met two students that applied in round 4 and were accepted. They said the disadvantage of applying in rounds 3 and 4 is the limited availability of scholarship money. However, they could still get you an on-campus job to help offset the cost of tuition.

Fingers crossed.

Hi, Josh. If you are a non-US citizen, it's better to apply as early as you can. As galaxyblue said, the difference is the avaliability of $cholarships and VISA processing. Good luck!

galaxyblue · Answer

Have you heard anything yet?

orzking · Answer

Hi, Kelly,
Yes, I received the admission mail from Paul on Feb, 22nd, and GA+10K mail from Kate one day later. It will cover my 1st year's full tuition + $1.4K gain for me. MSU is quite generous on this.
